Classroom and Extracurricular Activities as the Basis of Project and Problem Methods of Teaching a Foreign Language in a Non-linguistic University

Abstract

The article reveals the influence of classroom and extracurricular projects on the motivation of students of non-linguistic directions of higher education to learn a foreign language. The phenomenon of motivation is considered in the article as an important part of modern education in higher school. Also, in this scientific report, the methods of project and problem-based teaching of a foreign language are described and a comparative analysis of the presented methods is carried out. A feature of these teaching techniques is that students are involved both in a team (at the same time they are involved in the creative process, since there is an element of competition) and individually. The article talks about the importance of using both presented methods, without mutual exclusion, to increase students’ interest in learning a foreign language.
